Gary Rader, 70, of Sherwood, Arkansas passed away on March 11, 2020. He was born September 29, 1949 in Hot Springs, Arkansas to the late Donald and Faye Rader.

"Pops", to many, was loved by his family and friends. He enjoyed golfing and quality time with his friends. "Radar" was a proud Marine, serving two tours in Vietnam and receiving two purple hearts. A war hero to our country, a bigger hero to his family.

He is preceded in death by his brother, Donald Rader, Jr.

Gary is survived by his son, Brian Rader and daughter-in-law, Jennifer; daughter in his heart, Bethany; grandchildren, Charlotte, James and Graham; and twin sister, Gail Ross.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 from 5:00-7:00 P.M. at Roller-Owens Funeral Home in North Little Rock. Internment to be determined at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to Wounded Warrior Project in Gary's honor.

Dear Rader family,

We are saddened to read of the passing of Gary. Mark and I go way back to First Christian Church in Hot Springs and know Gary and Gail. We also knew them in school. We both graduated just a year or so later.

We attempted to attend the grave site ceremony which was listed in the newspaper for noon on March 24. We were unable to find the site. There was no one in the office as the Corona Virus was just starting to get everyone’s attention. We just wanted you all to know we remember Gary as a very nice guy who we grew up with.

Our deepest blessings and prayers have been with you and will continue.

Sincerely,

Mark and Sarah Coleman

Pop's will truly be missed. I wish Brian and I had more time to whoop him on the golf course. What a great man with a huge heart!
